Heloniopsis

Heloniopsis - Dwarf perennial plants of the Lily order, from Japan, forming neat tufts of erect lance-shaped leaves of a few inches high, and carrying short spikes of flower in early spring. In H. breviscapa they are 6 to 8 inches long, white with deep lilac stamens, the whole turning a pretty rose-red before fading. In H. japonica the flowers are larger, but only two or three on a stalk, their color a deep rose with blue anthers. The plants thrive in moist peaty soil and in sunny sheltered nooks; H. breviscapa also does well in partial shade. Increase by division late in summer, or seeds sown in a cold frame.
